    Unique cockpit size

    How is the footbox in a 1993 car? Is it extened and / or dropped at all?

    Do you think a thin racing seat mounted to the floor and a smaller steering wheel be enough to fit comfortably, or would the dashboard be a problem?

    Those changes would help but you will never fit confortably, we do make a dash with a cutout for your knee. The problem you might have is sitting too high and having to look over the windshield.

    I'm 6'-2" with a 34" inseam and don't have any problem with knee room, but I do have a noched dash. Getting in and out is a little bit of a challenge, but after a couple of practice runs, you should have no problem. Sounds like a lot of your 6'-6" is above the waist, so looking over the windshield could be a problem. But that can be fixed......just use a racing screen with goggles or a helmet and face shield. This would still be more comfortable than most motorcycles.
